Project Reports

Demo - There will be a demo at the Davis Food Co-Op on
Saturday, June 29th at 3:15pm.

Installfests - Our last installfest was yesterday. About
10-12 people came, 4 of which requested Debian. We need someone to
volunteer to greet people as they arrive to the Installfests.
A number of people offered to help. We may have network access at
our next Installfest (July 21st), with help from the UCD CS Club.

LERT - ???. We need more volunteers to help out, especially
those in (or who can make it to) Sacramento.

Other Business

Raffle - IBM sent us some yo-yos and retractable, flat-corded
ethernet extension cables. No Starch sent us some t-shirts.
We had some VMWare t-shirts left over from last time. These were all
raffled away. Strangely, most officers who attended won something.
(It wasn't rigged! We promise! :^))
